Carrera S kill
I was behind a newer Carrera S waiting at a stop light, he took off under full throttle, I followed him then pulled around him and left him in my wake. The Renntech upgrade has made this a real joy to drive.

had recent similar experience too. had a yellow lambo gallardo pull up fast behind me, then he went wot into the left lane by me a few days ago on fwy. almost seemed like he came close to clipping my rear. i was just driving and minding my own biz, as usual. slowly crept up next to him as fwy traffic slowed to near standstill. finally, i came up on his left and rolled down my window, as he did the same. i asked him if he was really trying to pull on my car, then asked if he wanted to find out how slow his car was. he then put his arm on his window and buried his forehead in his hand. anyway, somewhat of a goof and fairly unsafe driver, as well. unfort., the 55 is badged near the v8k.

'07 Porsche 997TT
Not surprising at all - two cars with two very different purposes. Came out of my modded E55 into an '06 997S until I got the TT last year and really enjoyed that car. Took some time to "get it" but the overall package of handling, breaking, steering, is tough to beat.

Apples and oranges in my opinion. Carrera S is 350 HP. E55 stock form is 469, never mind the Renntech upgrades...
